I really like this idea :-), and think that a database of all 
types of FreeBSD people from end-users to commiters who want 
to opt-in to this listing could spawn a lot of educational 
and fun opportunities for individuals who could drag themselves 
away from their screens on occasion ;-)

Why not base it on latitude and longitude, along with an 
email address and text fields to allow for some self 
expression of areas of interest etc...?

A clickable map would be a nice interface for the database 
lookups with a max radius factor, but really is just icing 
on the cake.
